| I'm going from working out 6 days a week to going to 3 days of CF a week. I am only 3 weeks in, but I feel like i'm not quite doing all I should. I haven't started gaining weight b/c I've been at equilibrium for a year, but I think I need to do more. I don't want to add more CF b/c that increases my membership. So, what do you do? Thank you! |

I don't cross-fit, but I do a full-body lifting routine on the days I'm not running, and I do yoga twice a week.
I'd probably put in some cardio on the off days, and maybe some yoga. Schedule the type of cardio around how tired you are from the CF routines - so you could do a run when you're not that fatigued, and 30 minutes on the low-impact arc trainer (or on a bike) when yesterday's WOD was really hard. Yoga helps stretch you out and avoid injury. |

| I definitely get in yoga once a week. I guess I should add a pure cardio day, but they aren't my favorite. |

| I do step class with 4 risers and jump off the front or other things that people used to do before they realized it was bad for you. |

Obviously, you look for threads where you can act snarky. I don't know how that helps you be healthy, though. |
